International Women’s Day 2018

My annual edit. My everyday hope — that gender equality won’t be just a “women’s cause” but an acknowledged, embraced, practiced human right. #timesup #timeisnow #IWD2018

Alec: Here’s a fun Christmas idea. We’ll hang mistletoe, but instead of kissing, you have to FIGHT whoever else is under it.

Ellie: We are not doing that.

Alec: Mistlefoe™

Ellie: Sir NO.

I should learn for my A-levels, but I am to excited to finally use my new cards today!

“(In Iron Man) there are no civil wars fought, no city takeovers and hostage threats, no galactic beings intent on destroying the planet. There is only a moneyed megalomaniac who gets shocked into becoming a better person after confronting the ugly consequences of his arms manufacturing business face to face.

… (In) a universe that’s come to include a pantheon of gods, sorcery, and green-skinned rage monsters, powered armor feels pretty down to earth. After all, beneath it, there’s only a man.

That’s another thing that makes Tony Stark, and Iron Man, essential to the post-2010s superhero boom. Stark isn’t quite relatable, per se — few among us can truly relate to a guy with bottomless resources and Robert Downey Jr.’s good looks — but he is, at the core, a human on the quest for humility. Stark is the template for a number of characters brought to screens large and small since Iron Man’s release 10 years ago … After Iron Man, projects centered on swaggering ladykillers with too much money became their own sub-niche in the superhero genre …

That’s not to say Iron Man invented the modern superhero. But it did invent the modern superhero movie as we know it. Taken together, the film was a watershed: It opened the door to a new kind of superhero, and spawned a collection of interconnected films for those heroes to appear in.

So it turns out Tony Stark has a superpower after all: He can bring together heroes from across nations and even galaxies, by doing nothing more than rejecting his industrialist ways.”
